Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you are are getting ready for a wonderful Thanksgiving....full of family, friends and PIE!

If you're in the mood to whip up some cookies to take to the feast, here's a simple idea for you. This turkey doesn't require a special cutter....it's a combination of a few shapes you probably have already...or can cut by hand.

I used a flower cutter, a small circle, and hand-cut a small rectangle. A video of the process of putting them all together is on University of Cookie.

I loved these little guys when I first saw them on UofC! I never get tired of looking at your cookies. Just popped in to wish you and your family a lovely, blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. We've already celebrated ours in Canada but I want to say how grateful I am to have *met* you through blogging. You are a continuing source of inspiration, and great advice for me. Thank you.

Oh my goodness Bridget! I just signed onto my computer, have not been online in a few days due to my first chemo treatment on Tuesday. Finally feeling a bit better and the "call of email" lured me to sign on. SHOCK and UTTER AMAZEMENT to see an email from YOU letting me know that I had WON THE RED KITCHEN AID!! I never win anything!!! I guess I can't say that anymore, can I? :) Thanks SO very much to you and your blog. You have inspired my cookie making for many years, and I will think of you EVERY time I turn her on. I'm sooo excited that I don't even remember what I named her...but I will go back and check the comments. I WILL kick cancer's butt (again) and do it this time with the help of a cookie blogging friend!Have a wonderful and joyous holiday season.

Those are pretty cute as are the little brown one's below. These would work really well in France b/c we don't have anything like these at parties!

Not sure how well they would compete with beautiful millefilles or opera cakes but they are a really cute idea. Maybe you could even use them as name holders (if you wrote guests names on them) on top of napkins. I have a blog about food, recipes, expat life in France and more recently Champagne trips!
